@@ppjerry420 and let us not forget Jebus told him so!
Leave them alone, it's what they want. People who went there and knew how hostile they are shouldn't be surprised when they are attacked.
Facts
Amen
The only people on the earth that are not slave's, to a corporation 👍💪 power to them
I grew up in a Christian home, and I was always told that "God can't protect those who will not protect themselves. He gave humans common sense for a reason." I think this guy slept during that Bible class...
They were hostile because the people went there. Not vice versa.
Pro Tip: if you want to understand an uncontacted tribe, calling them "satan's last stronghold" is a strong indication you should not be allowed anywhere near them.
well said, my thoughts exactly. how many tribes got destroyed by stupid cristian missionaries. LEAVE THEM ALONE!!
I told this story to one of my Christian friends. He looked me dead in the eyes and said, "At least he died doing the right thing." There was too much for me to address in that statement that I had to back out of the conversation for the sake of my mental well being. People out there really think that their way is the only way, and it's disgusting.
Ugh. Yes that’s why i’ve chosen to stop going to church. Because of those people. It’s disgusting.
Christian people are WILD
Like in what way it was “the right thing”. Ugh, those people don’t use their brains ever.
@@bananacathammock I'm all for personal religious freedom, but to think that everyone else needs to follow your beliefs is just beyond pompous.
We’re put on this earth to preach the word of God. Not to just simply live and die.
Can we acknowledge that the tribe didn’t kill John the first two times he showed up, which goes against the idea that they are violent and dangerous, but like you said, just acting in self-defense.
A group of people who routinely shoot fish with arrows in the wild- no way they “accidentally” stuck the book he was holding. They could not make the warning any clearer.
They wanted to drive him off and let him go when he left. But that third time he refused to go, so they killed him before he could make them sick, like what happened to their ancestors.
@Danny Buck Except you are wrong about the 50 feet thing. There is literal video of people closer than that tossing them coconuts and other foods.
@@dannybuck2047 unless John lied in his writings, we know he was killed the THIRD time he invaded this island.
@Danny Buck sir this is made out of his diary.... if anything he was lying what are u talking about??
He took a 12 week class on how to communicate with lost tribes and when he gets there he just starts speaking English immediately

@@MrJSupreme26 I mean you can have a spiritual intervention but the island of violent aboriginal people isn't really the place for it.
But that's the way of Christian missionaries, ain't it? Bring your myths over to groups of people who don't believe, whether they want it or not. Right? So, it's not like he's in the minority with this delusional thinking that he needs to 'save the indigenous' from themselves.
@@shadelings agreed! He thinks he needs to wash them of their "sins". Lol
They tried to tell John to leave. He refused to do so. He lost his life because of it.
It's unfortunate he died, but he was given several warnings. Leave people be, don't force your faith onto others, and don't keep going back to a place you know is dangerous. Especially when the people have made it clear they don't want you around. Thanks for covering the case, it's really cool to learn that there is still a truly wild place in the world
I don't understand why people cannot accept that the Sentinelese want to be left alone. In a lot of ways they have a better lifestyle than the modern world. Certainly, their general health is probably better. They want to be left alone - leave them alone!
As for a Christian guy wanting to convert them. Well, look at the harm that has been done by religious missionaries to native communities the world over for centuries. It is annoying that people have to push their views or beliefs on others instead of just accepting other peoples beliefs and that those people are happy as they are.
As far as I am concerned, religious beliefs are a personal and individual issue, not much different from your favourite colour, UA-cam channel, music and so on. No one would like to be told that they have to like a certain colour, watch certain channels, listen to certain music. The same goes for religion. What you believe is your personal choice. If the world would recognise that instead of forcing whole communities to change their beliefs then we might start to see a lit bit more peace. Acceptance is the key.

@@LittleNed2004 their general health is better? what's their life expectancy compared to mainland India? Because I haven't see any elderly there, have you? and what did the missionaries did all over the world that was so bad? stopped tribes from murdering people that were born with congenital defects? boohoo
stop expecting these people to be a circus attraction so you can feel good about yourself. they're just as human as you are, they deserve the same things you do
Personally, I don't feel bad for John. He knew the dangers going in, he had 2 previous encounters with them, 1 of which had him almost get shot with an arrow. He knew he should leave or risk being killed. He got everything he asked for
Fr, when he foolishly tried to talk to the tribe that he was sent by God to "save" them I just facepalm myself
I agree. He did himself in on that. He was being selfish with his actions thinking he was doing a good deed, not realizing that “good deed” may not come off as such to people who do not understand it nor accept it. He had to learn the hard way and in a sense I believe that it had to end this way for him as if to send a warning to others who may consider doing the same later.
It still sucks for his loved ones though. Religion is a disease and it never saves anyone.
John could've taken the first warning shot of his bible as a sign from god. Instead he chose to follow what many religious people do "Give me a sign, no not that one. I'll just do what I want and call it god's will...."
@@TRUTHx247 agree history is littered with stories of indigenous cultures across the globe who were doing just fine until do-gooder religious folk decided to “save” them.
100%
This should be shown to all “missionaries”. The condescension they possess thinking they know better than the people they are trying to “save”. Maybe they’re happy with their lifestyles? These people are so delusional.
no different than political activists
I will never in my life be able to understand why people would think it beneficial, okay, useful or needed...EVER...to take people away from their native home! I can't fathom it!
If you mean the man who kidnapped the two adults and four children, not that I am defending him cause it was damn stupid, but I am sure his goal was to try and convince the people he took he was not going to hurt them, while also causing the rest of the tribe to rally to look for them. That way when he returned he could set them free and they can vouch for him, and he's found the rest of the tribe through faking an emergency.
This, of course, is incredibly stupid.
@@darkmask5933 this 6 people were KIDNAPPED. you know it's a crime
The Sentinelese laughing at John trying to communicate with them gave me a bit of a chuckle. It's clear they have no desire to communicate with the outside world, otherwise they would've done it by now.
They have no way to communicate with the outside world even if they wanted to. They're literally living in the Stone Age.

Unfortunate that he died but realistically he was asking for it. Feeling like he needs to convert people to his way of thought and treat them asi if they need his guidance. Ita a problem that I have with all missionaries. (Especially early ones. Killed thousands) love this style of video Adrian. Keep it up
Yet people do it all the time, most often without an official religion these days. It's politics people try to force down your throats now, no matter how insane or unscientific their beliefs are. And if you disagree, for example, "hey, maybe don't have men in women's sports" they'll attack you relentlessly.
The story of colonialism
@@dragonninja3655pretty sure the trans athletes are the ones doing hate crimes or passing legislation to make your way of life literally illegal.
One of my fondest memories involved some missionaries who had knocked on my door when I was maybe late teens and they started off with asking me "Where do you see yourself in 5 or 10 years time?" and I immediately said "In the orbit of the sun." and the sheer look of confusion on both of their faces as they tried to process it was fucking hilarious.
Must've been like 10 seconds of confused silence before they tried to continue their pitch and just told them I'm agnostic and might one day find out they made the right call on worship but until then I wasn't interested.
That’s the difference between spirituals that respect natives like roots, the later prey on them along with Judas, because believe Adam and Eve were first and the rest are property to be be converted. They don’t respect you if they try to change you! Along with terror that’s something else.
I loved hearing this. I use to feel bad for him but now I know he had several chances to not go back. I didn’t know that.
The story of John will never be tragic to me. Dude acted like an absolute moron, give him the Darwin Award of that year - maybe that decade. He was warned plenty of times and decided to listen to no one - including the people he was trying to 'save from the Devil'.
He's a complete idiot but not surprising since his mother is a bigger one
100% agree
My thoughts exactly. The arrogance of thinking he could 'save' people by invading their peace is astounding. He probably thought of himself as a martyr at the end. Sickening.
I wonder What would happen if it goes an afroamerican. Do you think they will give him a chance?
Unless there's tragedy in being raised to be a missionary, nothing too tragic. I've got no sympathy for those who think it's a good idea to force their religion onto others, regardless of intent.
I don't understand why people can't leave these people alone. They don't need to be taught our ways. All we need to do is look at what people did to so many indigenous tribes around the globe. We don't need to understand them, we need to respect their wishes and let them live the way they choose.
Also Adrian, great story. I think it's great to have a different type of story thrown in there. At least this one isn't about evil murderers, just people defending their home.
Christians, well, some Christians, believe that God has called them to save the souls of "savages". Echoes of European colonists in days gone by, bringing "civilisation" and Christianity. It's terribly unchristian, nothing but vanity and self-pride.
Beautifully written...
Shoot if they knew what happened to the rest of the indigenous people of this land, they would definitely attack from far away, and honestly, I can't blame them one bit! Most of us humans don't know or respect boundaries smh
Couldn't agree more. History would only repeat itself if we decided to intrude on them and violate their sovereignty like what happened in the Americas following the landing of Columbus
What intrigues me the most about this tribe is their literature. How did their tragic encounters with outsiders changed their story telling? How did the modern things they see in the sky and sea, the boats, the planes, the trash that wash up on shore were interpreted? What they think of the outsiders they've seen recently? It's so fascinating.
To them we are most likely destroyers and death bringers. Maybe they have stories that go from generation to generation about danger of having contact with us and death/desease that almost killed them by doing so.
Their "literature"? Uhhhh I'm certain they don't write. No need.
@@pennyp7382I think he means how they interpret the outside world. Their general views, stories, etc
@@pennyp7382 Literature does not have to be written. Homer was a bard.
I was thinking about this too! They were probably in contact with the other tribes of the Andaman Islands until the British took over. (The Onge tribe has a name for them but by the time anyone thought the bring Onge people there, they couldn't understand the dialect Sentinelese spoke.) So they probably think they are the last bastion of freedom from the rule of those Invaders. It'd be fascinating to know what the children returned to the island told the others about "civilization". I can't imagine how strange everything would be, especially through the eyes of a child watching their elders die. We must be the boogey men of their children's nightmares. And if convicts and drunk fisherman wash up on the beach sometimes, maybe they are correct in thinking it's best to shoot first and ask questions later.
I am Catholic and though I am not practicing anymore, we hold that the souls of those who die without ever knowing of Jesus (like people born before He was born in Bethlehem) do not go to Hell nor Heaven. I think God is protecting them. Certainly the reef has for centuries. And who put the reef there if not God or a god?
Tribe said "Fuck around and find out" 😂
The only true crime here is people not leaving these uncontacted societies alone.
I'm going to the island to join their society. I'll be rich selling my story in a year or two

Like obviously it’s a tragedy and all that… but I personally find it hard to feel bad for someone who died for meddling in something they absolutely shouldn’t have. He had a very special type of entitlement and he did paid the price.
I'm not in the habit of mocking or getting a laugh at victims of murder and assault, but there were some good meme came out right after old John got himself killed playing missionary.
I hate it that he thinks he has the right and authority to force himself into their culture because of Jesus. All in all, that is just an excuse for him to experience his island fantasies. So yeah, I don't feel bad that he died because what was he expecting? That he is the chosen one for these people?
@Gifted Fox really pissed me off when I heard he considered the island "the last stronghold of Satan on earth".

I've heard this story a few times. But i'm sure plenty people in your audience haven't, and you covered it well. I think you should keep doing these kind of videos alongside your usual true crime content.
"They DESERVE their Privacy!" And for me that includes NOT gawking at them as if they were a zoo exhibit! It's enough that contact with other inhabitants of this planet WOULD KILL THEM! And past contact resulted in someone's daughter, children, & father BEING KIDNAPPED! Wouldn't you pass that down as a cautionary tale to others of your kind? They're only protecting themselves & clearly wish to be left alone. For the sake of THEIR LIVES, RESPECT THAT!
Love from Arkansas 💙
It wouldn't necessarily kill them. There are several populated islands in that area. The outside world has made contact with some of them before.
@@mattr.1887and many of them have probably died from our diseases which may be the reason they are so hostile to who they must consider to be invaders

And people wonder why they dont want outsiders on their island
@Democratic FBI agreed
@Democratic FBI Yea, let's bring in some racism, good idea ...
And don't tell anything else, all 3 comments shown from you in different comment sections always contain "poor WHITE". Whites where never poor, they never got stolen or where forced to be slaves.
@Democratic FBI America was founded by outsiders tho ..
Especially when with such a small population, probably the rare disease, like they gave them, ripples through the community and goes extinct as it doesn't have time to mutate and basically they otherwise don't have experience with disease. Probably think it's some kind of witchcraft.
I don’t blame them for not wanting outsiders to come on their island. All we do we bring sickness and violence. I’m sure they either heard stories or experiences diseases outsiders brought into their villages killing them all because they have different immune systems and no vaccines. Leave them alone, I honestly do not feel bad for anyone who has been attacked visiting a island they were told not too and is dangerous. 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ great video as always! Very well spoken and well researched ✨
I'm sure they will be relieved to know they are forgiven, perhaps the mom should go back to get her son who is still alive, and also let them know they are forgiven. It sounds as wise as her son's repeated attempts 😉
What an incredibly dumb thing to have done. Also extremely arrogant and and patronizing to believe that he would be able to communicate and live amongst them. Earnestly believing that he was saving them from eternal damnation in hell he sealed his own fate. Honestly I hate to say this but.........he got exactly what he deserved.
Well said miss peachykeen:)
Last time I went there, dude jiggled his nutsack at me. It was quite rude.
@@paulwright6015 yeah it's wild how much faith in some religions inflates one's sense of self. They literally see themselves as saviors. So self-absorbed and sanctimonious.
Kinda feel like the arrow going through the bible was God's way of going "I see you, I see what you're trying to do, and I appreciate it. Please stop. Here's your second chance. Go home."
Usually I come here for true crime, but this was an excellent presentation of the island's history with outsiders. Please do continue making vids like this one! Always glad to listen to your delightful voice.
I agree, I believe the fact that they spared him not once but twice was God’s way of telling him to leave them alone

Unfortunately, faith in the Church has a way of blinding people to the text they're actually reading.
but he doesn't appreciate it. it goes against god and the bible. but dude should have taken it as a sign to GTFO and never go back.
Exactly, this dude was just too dense to understand
I feel like I say this a lot but "just leave people alone!". They are just living their lives, stay away and they won't hurt you. It's not hard.
This should go for today's Republican Party.
My vote is yes! Please continue with these types of stories. And true crime, both please!
I agree! It's a nice switch up and still very interesting
Well, what John did was truly a crime.
"The Sentinalese actually appreciate metal". Don't be so surprised: it's the best music genre by far.
That metal "screech", they used the pots as a digging tool...
I read this before I got to the metal part of the story and actually believed they were listening to heavy metal😂
John's actions are the classic case of "Fuxk around and find out"
Leave those people alone! Enough said! I love how this story was covered and ai would like to see more like them. This is educational and enlightening. Thank you for sharing this with us Adrian.
How many damn warnings did he need? RIP. I hope his mother can eventually accept reality
I hope so too and rightfully acknowledge that her son was the one who needs to be held accountable for his foolish and dangerous actions and not these innocent people who never asked to be introduced or brainwashed by his version of religion. Leave them alone. They are clearly doing just fine without “Jesus”
They are way too far up their own ass. “Forgive” them??? So arrogant and self righteous. They’re from Alabama. They are fully aware of the concept of castle law…..trespass, get shot.
Not just the delusion he’s still alive, but the delusion he wasn’t the victim of his own arrogance and stupidity
@@free2saywhatever For sure, even if Jesus himself stood on front of him and said "Don't go." He'd still go. That's how some people are. Then they blame God or Jesus or other people for whatever bad thing that follows.
Some things deserve to stay left alone. It’s their way of life, and it’s pretty impressive that it’s still happening to this day.
No kidding. Native’s lost almost everything they had and their way of life. Here’s ONE island that they have left and people STILL think they can go there and “teach them a better way”. People are so ridiculously full of themselves it’s ridiculous. Just leave them alone.
@@supernova11711 sucks dude died, but he had two chances to stop and he went in again, that’s practically begging for something bad to happen.
i delivered a letter to the island explaining how to mine uranium and make nuclear weapons.
The biggest mystery here is how did these natives get the government to leave them alone when the rest of us can't it get it done with power, money, love nor threats.
Because America is a company built on greed lust power and entitlement once you elected people to power you think they want to lose it no the reason those people left alone is because America is a sovereign Nation built on the things I just stated before other countries are trying to emulate America however some underdeveloped countries no that those people there can't afford to pay taxes cuz they don't have any money 🤔🤔🤔👌👌🙏🙏🙏
I have visited Adaman and Nicobar Island few years ago, major touristic islands are Neil and Havelock. When you land in Port Blair airport there is a special huge information sign, says you cannot visit MULTIPLE islands, i think you even need to sign agreement.

I hope you had a fun time
John Chau "have you met Jesus?"
Islanders "No, but you're about to".
I saw a documentary on this Island. It seems there was an Anthropologist Professor who spent years taking trips to the Island. He started by sailing around the Island every few months. Then he would do that but would send floating packages towards the tribesmen. Pretty soon his assistant, who was female, actually was able to go ashore and there are pictures of her with the Islanders and even hugging a few children. But then the man retired, his research stopped and that was the end of that which I found to be too bad as the North Sentinelese probably thought they had been abandoned as the professor's cautious approach had been over many years.
Boo hoo. They are not zoo animals or some entertaining research project for the Caucasians. They’re human beings with bills to pay, children and/or pets to feed. The professor and assistant were just passing by. They’re booked and busy with their hunting and gathering chores
it also goes to show that when you treat them with respect, they’ll treat you the same
@@cryptidfaerie4107 i have a feeling women are more welcome than men

This tribe deserves their privacy! I feel sorry for his family but he was warned multiple times not to go.
@Blake Davis - We all deserve our privacy. Our governments should leave us the hell alone, just as they do this tribe. They are free. We are slaves.
That's a great way to put it: I feel sorry for his family and they have my sympathy. John Allen however, does not get a single ounce of pity from me, instead he has earned my outright disdain
It's not just about privacy though is it? Their very lives are at stake because people who should know better go glory hunting to satisfy their own selfish agendas.
I don’t. They brainwashed him.
They are brainwashed too.
The hubris and arrogance of christianity will never surprise me.

Great video as always Adrian, looking forward to more such cases 🥰
I agree, the Sentinalese should be left alone and not subjected to the western ways of the world. They have their own ways and that is their right. Yes please let us have some more documentaries like this, it was very interesting. Thanks for your channel.
There are a lot of things left out of this video. In their living memory the Sentinelese experienced war by colonial powers over their island and numerous outbreaks of deadly diseases from repeated attempts at contact. They have apparently salvaged the Primrose and are using metal tools now.
They do occasionally trade with the South Sentinelese but even that's not a good idea. They have been seeing ships for 200 years and know that they are just big boats the outsiders have. They most likely assume that planes, satellites, and space stations are also outsider vehicles.
They are people and they're smart. They know that contact means strange technology as well as devastating plagues, and have rightly concluded that it's better to stay isolated. They are fascinating and it would be nice to know them better but we ruined any chance at that long ago.
Missionary work is inherently unethical at least and plain evil at worst. This guy knew what he was doing and got what he deserved. Imagine calling people "Satan's last stronghold". What an ass.
I really hate how people see them and go like "oh they need to be included in the world and civilised", it's such a coloniser mindset, revolting. Cultures have their own value and they should be left alone.
“Missionary work” is just colonization with a new name.
@@orlandorolon7338 More accurately it's the old name because it was used to justify the colonial horrors at the time they started.

Interesting…thankyou
They probably had previous contact with colonizers before the first recorded instance, and then they get their children kidnapped and returned while ill with a contagious sickness they have no idea how to fight. I honestly hope they can live their entire existence without any outside contact.
Absolutely. This is what i think. They know about European colonialism and expansionism.
Facts. My country , a Muslim majority since the 10th century, was colonised for almost 3 decades by the English.
Our resources stolen, women raped, men killed, rulers usurped and land taken away by British colonisers.

Please cover more like this! I always enjoy your content & the way you cover things. Stuff like this interests me more than the horrible crimes the people commit. Please make more content like this.
While preparing for my government job exams, I got to learn about Sentinelese more. This led me to the works of the philanthropist, Triloknath Pandit who had undertaken several visits to that land. The fact is that the government of India had made several efforts to contact them and establish friendly relationship with them. But they show their desire to be left alone. What happened to John was sad but he ignored every warning. Even the Aboriginal tribes act clearly prohibits any human intervention in that area.
Jesus saved the Sentinalis islanders from the stupid interference from what we call humanity. 😊🌻 I hope they continue to be left in peace & privacy. ❤
Thank you for sharing this, I am now going to look into Triloknath Pandit. I hope we are moving towards a time where modern societies stop trying to modernise traditional people. We've lived for hundreds of years in an age of colonisation, from the Romans to the British Empire, assuming that the colonisers way of life is the better and bending people to adopt their religion and way of life, but we are now seeing a movement of Aboriginal people who are being educated and shown the modern world turning their backs and preferring their traditional lives. We need to find a better balance of offering things like modern medicine and education without demanding acceptance of all modern living. I have read a couple stories of Amazonian young adults going to cities to get educated in everything from Law to Agriculture so that they can take that knowledge back to their tribes, and I think that is something that should be more praised and encouraged. Papua New Guinea is a mess right now because of the imbalance of trying to modernise deeply tribal people, a lot of whom would have preferred to be left alone. Modern society needs to end its God complex. These people don't need Jesus, they need peace and if they find their peace in being left alone, then leave them alone.
@@katecarlisle8383 Jesus is what they're running away. Keep that to yourself and leave people alone. They don't have any religion and no one saved them but them.
@@katecarlisle8383 you're delusional
LMAO, "With the lack of McDonald's or Starbucks on the island...." Adrian, I love the little hidden funny things you add to these stories 😄
LOL. No Dollar General stores either 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I enjoyed this a lot. I have actually seen a few other channels cover this topic, but you had several important pieces of the story that none of the other channels included. I like seeing you cover this type of material as well as true crime. Hope you do more of it. ❤
Amazing video! I like the change of pace and you kept me very interested in the topic of the island. I had almost forgotten that there was a main antagonist of the video. Splendid work.
This is the third time I have heard about John. Let add a little bit more that wasn't in the video. His father, friends, and a few chruch members know of the island TOLD him to stay away. He refuses to listen because his church paster? leader? (don't know which one told him) it was a good idea to go to island to save their souls. The fisherman wasn't the only one who told him it was a bad idea cause some locals heard and agreed don't go to that island.
This is one of my favorite stories of how arrogance can lead to death, he arrogantly called it "Satan's last stronghold" which let's you know he arrogantly thought very highly of himself and he has delusions of grandeur that he was some sort of warrior of God on a mission. I think he 100% got what he deserved in my opinion, he had no business interfering with them
100%
Hubris, plain and simple. No more dangerous person than the one who believes he is absolutely correct, and will not listen to any other human.
He wanted to do what europeans did in latin america
@@asimhussain8716 Those other examples are still examples of arrogance. And all have a basic lack of empathy.
I don’t believe he deserved to die, I believe his ignorance and lack of respect is his final legacy. I’m not religious but to think it’s “gods will” knowing you might die doing the “lords work “ is senseless and unstable. No book is worth dying for
I love the stories you've been posting lately! Your previous content is also amazing, so either way I'm gonna keep watching 😊
Loved this one Adrian!!❤️
The info. you provided about the island and it’s people was incredibly interesting. Would love to see more videos like this one.😍👍🏻
I know this is completely off topic but, to the person who designed your background- I absolutely love how the sleeping kitty is breathing, and steam from the kettle :)
And in winter it's snowy outside. 😁 I remember when he said he was gonna upgrade his setting, he wasn't lying.
This was very interesting! The fact that they laughed at John when he repeated their chants make me curious as to what those chants meant? Maybe they laughed because he mispronounced everything? Or maybe the chant was "go away or we will kill you!" and so when John shouted it back they laughed wondering how one man could threaten them in their own language. Something to think about.
“*Kill the intruder! Kill the intruder!*” “Yeah! *Kill the intruder!*”
exactly what I thought. Copying their sentenses without knowing the meaning highlights his ignorance. If he copied taunts, it would have the exact opposite effect.
But John was killed. So who was the one who witnessed the tribesmen laughing
@@Johnne009 he probably wrote is in his journal that he gave to the fishermen
@@Johnne009 He wrote his first and second encounter on his journal as he managed to return to the boat.
Definitely do more of these! I've been a long time fan and it would be great if you cover mysteries and other cases other than true crime. I trust that you would slay any genre.
Kudos to you, Adrian!
I listen to you while I work my boring job and you make it bearable. You can read the backs of cereal boxes if you want as I love whatever you want to talk to us about!!
As someone who studied anthropology, I loved this. Please do more of these.
I’ve been wanting to study up on anthropology some. Are there any books you’d recommend?
@@ardenalexa94 The The interpretation of cultures by Clifford Geertz.

@@mp1201 thank you!
@@EdHunter55 are you referring to the video of her comment? Cause she didn’t mention what religion she is.
as an Indian, im glad to see this island being covered by one of my favourite youtubers. imo you should make more videos like these, focusing on the larger picture more and not just criminal cases.
Agreed! Scale up your scope as you please and we'll watch .
I agree! I've cut back on watching true crime bc it sucks the soul from one after a while. You do such a great job describing places, and this was interesting, informative, and mysterious. Please do more like this!
pardon me for asking, but when you say 'Indian', do you mean from India or native american?
@@gordlawson11 from India I guess since the North Sentinel island is from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in India.
@@sanmar9 Yea, that's true.
This was a fantastic video, thank you for the education. While it makes me more curious, there is no way I would travel anywhere near there lol! It would be amazing if you had more episodes like this mixed in. Thanks again! 😊
Please keep up this type of content. It’s very interesting and you’re good at it too. Thank you for your videos and your time.
The sense of entitlement John Allen Chau displayed really makes me sick. "Last bastion of Satan" is such a cruel way to describe the sentinelese people. Hopefully some day peaceful contact and communication can be made, but that isn't today.
Exactly, what a huge arrogant reli radical and we have to thank the Sentinalese for 'exiting' him back to his god.
RIght?? I heard about this incident in the news when it happened and while I didn't feel sorry for him then, I had never heard of the "last bastion of satan" statement. That just pisses me off. Serves him right. So many actually depraved places on earth and you have to go and meddle in the affairs of 50,000 year old culture that's just minding their own business. You don't seem the Sentinelese starting wars and expropriating resources from the poor or destroying the environment but they need to saved. The arrogance.
Yeah, that was the moment I was like "WOW! Fuck this guy!".
We should leave them alone. They don't have natural immunity to the multiple diseases we have been exposed to.
I mean to be fair they are willing to murder anyone that's an outsider. They definitely aren't peaceful at all. I don't think they're good people, that being said I also think they should be left to their own devices. If you don't visit them, they won't seek you out to hurt you and they shouldn't be referred to as such a thing as "The last bastion of Satan"
I've heard of this island, mostly that it was dangerous, but didnt know the "history" behind it. I love that you are doing some of these other types of stories!
Also Azrael says "meow" to Nero
I remember when that fruit loop pulled that stunt. I couldn't believe that he went through with his insane idea. I think the guy was mental. Only someone with serious issues would ever think to do something so extremely stupid. These people aren't like anyone on earth and want to be left alone. They probably have no idea how many people are on this planet, especially dumb white guys who think they are just going to change them overnight and throw the ways of the rest of the world in their lap.
My favorite post of yours!! So educational!! Thank you so much!!
Love the coverage! Very unique story!
I appreciate the occasional branching out from true crime. It can get tiresome to shoehorn yourself into a box with the same kind of content all the time so I respect you for taking a risk to do something a little different! And this video in particular was great! I minored in Anthropology in University and I remember learning about this tribe in my classes.
I'm just glad we have a story that doesn't revolve around bdsm and sex workers for once
It IS true crime. The Sentinelese executed John Chau for trespassing.
I really appreciate when true crime content creators take a break from the darkness from true crime but continue to give us content. Not that this video wasn't dark, because it was but you get my meaning!! I hope anyway. Lol
What John did was truly a crime though.
Love subjects like this. It’s one of those “places you shouldn’t go but you went anyways “ idea.
It’s enough with our world losing privacy of our own. Let them keep theirs .
Similar to Mr Ballen, but with a British twist.
actually Mr Ballen did a show on this! I believe it was called exactly that!
@@primesspct2 yes I’m a big fan in ballen. Lol that’s where I got the quote from . XD my favorite videos are those type of tragic endings. But his guy here gives a different perspective and Just curious . Whatever it is. Those I always hunt for is stories like this .
@@nhlredwingsfan I also like both of them, they are great.
I enjoy any topic you cover due to all the research you conduct. Great as always.
Absolutely love this. Very informative and I really hope you will do more of these types of videos.
I love stories like these! It breaks up the monotony of typical true crime cases! What a fascinating story.
True, I've found my feed absolutely SATURATED with true crime videos. Starting to get old...
I remember this story, and can't say I was at all surprised to hear that John is most likely deceased. May he RIP. Fascinating that there are any truly isolated people left on earth.
Loved this format. Do more!
You have made this story so interesting to watch and listen to. Your delivery is 💯.. Thank you 🙏🏾
It's amazing there's still a place like this. I don't think anyone should ever attempt making contact. I think they should be left alone. We don't need to dominate every single place on earth. Let alone this place. I enjoyed this today's content!
Thank you for the geographic introduction you always begin with. I love gaining an understanding of different regions
You'd think that years and years seeing the damage of missionaries throughout the world at large would make people think twice about repeating their path
I think it would be great if you did more of these. Its great to learn what goes on around the world. I myself find it very interesting how other people live and what goes on in this planet we call home.
Thank you for sharing. This is interesting. I don't understand why people won't leave them alone. They don't want intruders and they have their own system of beliefs and obviously they don't need to be saved by someone else's religion. Look at what being "saved" has done with most indigenous populations on the planet, slavery, genocide, and destruction not to mention loss of languages, ancestry, and cultures.
Great video and great story. I would definitely enjoy more of these type.
I really enjoyed this video, thankyou. Please do more like this....
I love this content too! It doesn’t have to be just true crime! Mysteries, haunted places and unexplained phenomenons are also just as interesting if not even more interesting than true crime cases! And this is coming from an obsessed true crime junkie! So I vote yes for more content like this! But at the end of the day, whatever you put out I’ll watch lmao bc you never fail to deliver! ❤
Same. The more content from this channel, I think the happier the world is.
Same
I might be in the minority but I personally still want the content to cover real stories not myths/conspiracies or other stories that aren’t confirmed to be real.
I think about this island more often than I'd like to admit. I find it fascinating that in this very moment there are people who live in a completely different way than the one we know. And we always talk of them as a group, but they're individual humans, with different personalities, and I sometimes like to imagine there must be a curious dreamer between them who wants to know who are the strangely dressed humans who have visited them, and what are those things flying in the sky, and who wonders about us, as much as we wonder about them.
Me, too. But I think about how someone cannot escape this island, no matter how much he/she wanted to. There is no way out for them and it's so sad.
Go there to find out more
@@1goodthing nah, thanks I'm good :)
@@sendmorerum8241 I doubt it. It would be all they know and their world. They have each other and unbreakable family bonds I can only imagine. They probably feel sorry for us.
Precisely!
This was excellent. I would enjoy more topics like these for sure!
Fascinating! Would love more cases like this
Yes, please, cover more cases like this. It was really interesting and something else than the usual. Thank you! Keep up the good work!
If you branch out to misteries and videos such as this one we are in for a treat. Amazing job!!
Loved this coverage and would enjoy seeing more content like it!
Great video mate, super interesting!
John was an idiot for keep trying to be welcomed on the island, they did warn him 🥴. Maybe he should have investigated a little bit more before he entered the island who clearly didn’t want him there. Thank you for an exciting and different story. It’s great fun to learn more of the world 👍🏼
Exactly! He was such a fool!!!
Also criminal you don't just break Visa you use and do something like you won't get student visa and do business and preaching in US.
He did plenty of investigating, unfortunately hard facts and two near-death experiences weren't enough to overcome the mental illness of believing a magic skybeard will cast "Protection from Arrows" on him while trying to invade the "Last Stronghold of Satan".
He was a fanatic.
Not to mention that these people undoubtedly have their own beliefs and shouldn’t be deprived of that by idiot bible thumpers. That was the backbone of colonialism.
Absolutely fascinating video! Everyone should leave these people alone. The outside world has brought them nothing but misery. I would love more content like this. All the true crime channels are becoming so similar and covering the same cases, so it's really refreshing to hear cases like this. More historical crime content would be great too. Love your channel xxx
Thank you for sharing this video
Loved this video! My husband even got into, and he regularly pokes fun at my true crime obsession. I had you playing on my speaker, and he came in the room, sat down and said “Now I’m invested, damnit!” 🤣 This was great, more of these please!
John didn't have much common sense.... Thanks Adrian....Love how much you research these stories... This was a welcome change from the true crime genre..
i was high and when Adrien told the Story of John and in the part where he was telling about John speaking to the tribe people and the the tribe people where chanting and stuff i had to laugh so hard i thought i cant anymore
Believing in a magic sky daddy isn't common sense, so what else would you expect?
@@JakeKoenig 🤣🤣🤣
@@JakeKoenig Exactly!!! Foolishness will get you killed!
I don't think it's right to say he had no malicious intent when he described them as "the last hold Satan has on the world", he did not respect these people, did not consider or care about the fact that they did not want to be interfered with, he wanted to impose his beliefs on them because he believed he was right and that they were wrong/unintelligent. Despite countless warnings from friends, family and locals, he decided that his own desires were more important than an entire people's way of life and made it his mission to force a new way of life onto them. John wasn't a victim, he was an assailant.
I too thought John was overly presumptuous to say basically they were Satan's children and therefore evil.
I agree 100%. That supremacist colonial mentality has absolutely no place in the world today, and you bet he got what he deserved. Not sorry.
This was incredibly compelling. Very interesting about the Sentinelese, very respectful coverage on your side Adrian. And yes please, disappearances or odd and strange or unsolved cases make for aa very welcome variation from the usual solved murder cases (which I also very much appreciate). Thank you for all your work!
Seen several vids about the island and such, but you found some nice details I haven't heard before, very nice!
